Gun Fool
Another step complete....
CYA friends:
I'm back in time 15 to 20 years ago fooling with this 40-X pistol spearment.....
I've been getting out some of my old XP things......slave barrels for one...
I'm wanting to make a factory modified stock so bad I can't stand it.....
But................man they are a hassle........
___________________________
Anyway, here's some pictures of today's work.......( I'm using the word "work" loosely here)
This first picture is of my 40-X lug, looking at the side that faces the action.....the screws that attach the trigger linkage go in from this side.
If you notice I didn't bring the clearance slot too close to the hole for the barrel, this way I won't have that thin web that you see in the XP lug I machined open to 1.200".....I was afraid of that....

This picture is of the lug looking from the front side...that faces the shoulder of the barrel.

Now use your imagination here:
I screwed one of my old XP slave barrels into my 40-X......
Imagine the action .490" shorter..........
The only difference in appearance from an XP will be the extra width of the 2nd recoil lug past the normal recoil lug.
Your friend, Bill Calfee
